The Park 2017

[Simpo]

Please book Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes to play on the Park stage at Glastonbury.

I believe they've never played at the festival before, which is surprising.

Prepare ye for a bashing! I think that Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes song is quite charming in its own naff way, but everybody else in the world absolutely hates them.

I think Swans would be a perfect Park headliner. They're my main wish every year. Liking the new album a lot after a few listens and I only expect it to grow on me. Only issues I can think of is the set time that Park headliners get, and that they just don't seem to book that sort of stuff, do they?

Gira is dissolving the current lineup after they're done touring this record, so next year would have to be it, for the new material anyway.

Gosh that's a bit far ain't it? Can't they just break up instead?

From what I remember, it's just going to be a new Gira project but still named Swans. I guess that's kind of what the current version is, compared to the 80s/90s stuff anyway.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Flume would be a great Park headliner. Sold out Ally Pally pretty quickly and 2 good albums under his belt. 

[TheRedSeat]

+1 for Eels. 

 

[pennylane07]

+1 for Animal Collective and Boards of Canada

Sleater Kinney

Why?

Dinosaur Junior (might be too big- Other? JP?)

He'd be a decent fit style-wise. He's a bit big on that form though. WH headliner?

Dinosaur Jr weren't too big a couple of years ago when they played in the evening. Still seems a bit too soon to come back one later.

Sleater-Kinney tho. Want that.

Yep reckon you're probably right. Better suited to WH in terms of size. 

[White Bear]

Also hoping 2017 will be the year of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs come back

a Park headline set from them would be unmissable

First Aid Kit have been recording, they've not played since 2013 and have already had one album out since then, if the new one does as well as that could see them high up on the park. The National headlining Park would make my weekend (tickets permitting)

reckon First Aid Kit will be too big for the Park with a new album - last one seemed to do big things for them. would expect them mid/high on Other, or maybe even headlining John Peel

The National are surely too big for the Park. high Other/Pyramid

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think that First Aid Kit were on the Pyramid the last time they played.

aye early doors Pyramid, and they've only gotten bigger since

[Gucci Piggy]

Park Headliner is a bigger slot than second on Pyramid, surely? I doubt Squeeze or Caravan Palace would have been big enough to headline such a stage this year. Are First Aid Kit a bigger deal than Richard Hawley? Heck, we even thought Sigur Rós may headline Park for a while this year.

[Ged Devereux]

Im hoping The National headline and with Other going for more dance type acts, its John Peel or Park? 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I think The National are probably around the same level of popularity as Sigur Ros over here, can definitely see them as a JP headliner.

Already headlined JP in 2008, moved onto playing Other Stage in 2010 and are bigger now than they were then. Sub or third down Pyramid, imo. I'd say they're a similar size to alt-J last year and Tame Impala this year who both could have taken either of those two slot.

Didn't realise they'd already played JP. I could maybe see them third down but don't think they'll sub. Tame Impala were a late addition. Most of us on here - quite rightly I still think - had them third down. Other sub/Pyramid third down would be my new bet (based upon your JP info).
